Chords with lyrics
Donovan - Lovely Princess (capo 2)
This is a beautiful song. I don't know why it's not included in any albums.
It's featured in the Donovan In Concert DVD. The chords are fairly simple, but it has a few
flourishes and arrangements that take a few tries to get just right.

There in her Dresden bath chamber

FF G+G C majorC (/B)
Will her hand ever grace my own?
A minorAm FF
I m in love with a princess
C majorC G+G C majorC (+G+G on the first string)
Ooh, lovely Princess Anne
There on the good old TV, la-la-la-la
In a domestic situation
Twas there I saw her fair continence
I cannot hurl off this station
Love comes not only to a princess
All are blessed or cursed with the shaft
I m in love with a princess
Ooh, lovely Princess Anne (+G+G - (G+G), A, B, C majorC single notes)
C majorC G+G A minorAm
There in the grand dining hall
FF G+G
She looked so innocent and wise
C majorC G+G A minorAm
With a foam-like softness
FF G+G
In a misty dream within her eyes
I m in love with a princess
Her hand will never grace my own
I m in love with a princess
Ooh, lovely Princess Anne (+G+G - G, A, B, C majorC single notes)
And late at night upon silk pillows
She wanders through her peasant dreams
Once kissed princes changed to froggies
The fairy tale reversed it seems
FF G+G C majorC
But I m in love with a princess
FF G+G C majorC G+G A minorAm
Will her hand ever grace my own? La-la-de-la-la
(A minorAm) FF
I m in love with a princess
C majorC G+G C majorC (stop strumming)
Ooh, lovely princess Anne
G+G A minorAm
(A minorAm) G+G FF
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
